Hello. I’m getting an error when trying to build my game for Windows in Unreal Engine 5.3 with FMOD. When I delete the contents of the Content\FMOD folder from the project (including the soundbanks), the error goes away and I’m able to build my game. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Thanks! Here is the error: UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): BUILD FAILED LogAudioDerivedData: Display: Building compressed audio format BINKA hash BINKA\_SCVER\_5028\_R4DV\_false\_SR0\_48000.000000\_SR1\_32000.000000\_SR2\_24000.000000\_SR3\_12000.000000\_SR4\_8000.000000\_QMOD\_1.000000\_CQLT\_-1\_ASTH\_0.000000\_INLC\_false\_CSZE\_65536\_LCF\_false\_ZCS\_0\_MCSO\_0\_END wave CompileFailed… LogAudio: Display: Chunk sizes for SoundWave /Engine/EditorSounds/Notifications/CompileFailed.CompileFailed: Chunk0=28 bytes, Chunk1-N=256k PackagingResults: Error: Unknown Error ---

Hi, What version of the FMOD integration are you using? ---

Hello. I have exaclty the same error when i try to package in UE5.3.2 (same message log) with Starter VR projet for Occulus Quest3. I don’t know the version of FMod. I don’t even know if it came with the engine. ---

Hi, [FMOD](https://www.fmod.com/) is an audio middleware that can be added to your Unreal Engine project. You can check the `Plugins` folder of your Unreal project: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/c/cf8fa681473d9bcced498757ed95545833d1505a.png) If the plugin files are not there, the issue is unrelated to FMOD. Hope this helps ---

I got this error when trying Package my project from the editor. I checked for the folders @Connor_FMOD mentioned and they were not there. I then cooked the project and then tried packaging again and it succeeded. ---
